OK, so the image build command is not a Dockerfile instruction. Instead, it is the docker command that is used to turn your Dockerfile into a docker image. The Docker image build command sends the docker build context, including the Dockerfile, to the docker daemon, which parses the Dockerfile and builds the image layer by layer. We will discuss the build context shortly, but for now, consider it to be everything that is needed to build the Docker image based on the content found in the Dockerfile. The build command syntax is as follows:
